5.1 General operating information

CAUTION!
If the lifting straps are guided incorrectly in the
hoist (e.g. the straps become twisted), the ceiling
hoist will automatically turn off.
– Keep the straps straight to ensure they feed
into the hoist correctly. The straps are held
taught by the weight of the hooks.
– Keep the straps freely suspended when the
unloaded hoist is lifting/lowering.
If a user unintentionally traps the hand
in the lifting strap during lifting, the hoist
will automatically turn off. The hoist stops
immediately when a hand gets in contact with
the strap inlet.
– Keep your hands away from the strap inlet
during lifting.
CAUTION!
The hand control is protected against splashed
water (IPX4). Extended contact with water will
damage the hand control.
– Do not immerse the hand control in liquids,
even for a short time.
– Avoid any contact with water or other liquids.
